More Information About the Alleged Natural
Son of the Prince Imperial.
NEW YORK, Jan. ia Paris special to the
Times says: ''All the week Paris has been
gathering interest in vague stories that a nat
ural child of the Prince Imperial was about to be
produced. Gradually these have taken form,
till now their complete publication is only a
matter of day two. The story is given SO
much crediblity that the Empress Eugene has
teleeraphed to the Ducde Mouchy to make strict
inquiries. What gives weight to it is
the fact that no money is demanded
or apparently desired. and the effort is
continuous to hide the child. The mother
is school mistress in Australia. Her documents
are in the care of Mr.. Reynolds an English 30
licitor here, and consist of two letters and two
kilograms. the former Enthusiastically in the
Princes handwriting, but they refer only to

which is at Bercy, is, or WAS u few days ago. at
the chateau of the Marquis d'Oyley-the Chateau
de Sans Souci, Bellevue-where, there is reason
to believe, important interviews are going to
take place. The boy is said to be the image of
his reputed SIRE and there are sundry strong in
fiuences in shadow behind him. The story gets
a good deal of credence.

IDDEsLEIGH's DEATH.

1t Strengthens Churchill's Position and VIII
Hasten Dissolution of Parliament
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LONDON Jan. 15-The appallingly sudden
death of Lord Iddesleigh has undoubtedly
strengthened Lord Randolph Churchilrs posi-
ton, and will hasten dissolution of Parliament
Lord Salisbury will be piled with all manner of
questions, Immediately upon the reassembling
regarding his foreign policy. colleague of
Lord Iddesleieh, this afternoon, informed your
correspondent that the trouble between Lord
Salisbury and his late foreign secretary grew
out of affairs in Afsbanistan. When Sir West
Ridgway, the British Afghan commissioner, ar
rived in London from the Afghan frontier, he
claimed that Khami-Ab was very important
strategic FORT and that it's surrender to Rus
STA would mean. in short time, the
surrender of the whole of Afghanistan and
trouble in India. Mr.. Charles Marvin, leading
authority of Afghanistan affairs, supported Sir
West Ridgway's views respecting the matter
Other high authorities claimed that the Kham-i-
Alb question which caused the deadlock in the
Afghan frontier commission and led to their re-
call, was an absurd quarrel over twenty or thirty
miles of territory. Lord Salisbury, who was
anxious to draw the attention of the country
from the Irish question. adopted Sir West Ridg-
ways view and requested Lord Iddesieigh to in
form Russia that under no consideration could
Kham-i-Ab be surrendered to her, and ordered
the adoption of vigorous policy towards Rus
STA, Lord Iddesleigh was loath to take such a
step, and pointed cut the difficulties in
the way of England assuming such
responsibility. He claimed that
Afehanistan was not worth going to war over,
and quoted from the opinions of old and leading
Indian officers showing that India could be more
successfully defended on hero frontier than
by throwing large British force into
Afehanistan to occupy that country. Two
thirds of the inhabitants Of Afghanistan are in
open revolt against the Ameer, and the severity
of the winter alone keeps them from marching
on Cabul. The opening of spring will be the
signal for the beginning of active operations by
the rebels, and, judging from the latest informa-
ton received from Afghanistan, they will make
shorl work of the Ameer Abdurrahman
Lord Randolph Churchill also opposed Lord
Salisbury in his Russian policy, and seeing the
danger Of war with Russia If the
Premier was allowed a free hand the
late Chancellor of the Exchequer refused to
concede the increased estimates of the War and
Navy Departments. The latter was given ont
as the motive for the resignation Of Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, but the causc of his hostility
toward the increased estimates was kept in the
background. Lord Randolph is too astute a pol
| Ifician to have opposed the increased estimates

LORD CHURCHILL.

An Intimation that He May Shortly Be
Found In the Ranks of the Liberals.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, Jan. 15-Lord Randolph Churchill
has greatly increased his reputation among the
Liberals. The Tories, however, are far too angry
to give him the credit he deserves The Nation
alists recall the fact that Lord Randolph once
a great friend OF theirs, and believe that he
already regrets that he ever ceased to be one.
Forgiveness in politics, however, is easily OBJ
tanned. Mr.. Parneu finds no difficulty in stand
ing shoulder to shoulder with Lord Spencer,
who when the latter was Viceroy of Ireland.
sent him and his followers to prison. More
unlikely things than reconciliation between Lord
Randolph and Parnell have happened, and it is
not altogether out of the question that the
House of Commons may one day see Mr.. Glad
stone and Lord Randolph on the front opposi-
ton bench. with Mr.. Parnell behind them thun-
dering at Mr.. w. Fl. Smith, the leader of the
Tories OF course, Lord Randolph will try to
break the Ministry. If he does so he, politically,
is destroyed. He will be cordially helped by Mr..
Chamberlain, and Mr.. Goschen. who succeeded
Lord Randolph as Chancellor of the Exchequer,
will be so heavily handicapped in debate that it
will be impossible to prevent the spread of de-
moralization in the Tory rank and file, and still
more among the Liberal Unionsts.
Mr.. John Morley and other Liberal leaders are
in the best of spirits, and regard the situation
enormously improved. Mr.. Gladstone is especi-
ally gratifed at the rapid growth of the feeling
in favor of home rule. A fresh appeal to the
country is probably inevitable, and it is signifi
cant fact that already the newspapers are fore
shadowing the period when the Queen shall
once more send for Mr.. Gladstone. Lord Sails
bury cannot stand for three months, and he may
possibly be overthrown before the address is
voted. He has possible successor but Mr.
Gladstone, who. upon entering Office, would once
more appeal to the country, failing satisfactory
understanding with the Liberal Unionists.
